Luis Enrique (1).webp
According to match reports, shattered esteem hung in the air as Paris Saint-Germain’s coach, Luis Enrique, praised Botafogo’s defence after their shock 1–0 loss at the FIFA Club World Cup. He claimed their organisation outmatched even Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool.
  • Botafogo stunned PSG 1–0 in a Group A game at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
  • Igor Jesus scored the only goal following Jefferson Savarino’s interception and counterattack.
  • PSG dominated possession but failed to break Botafogo’s compact, disciplined defence.
  • Luis Enrique said Botafogo defended better than his team’s Champions League opponents, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Shattered esteem settles when the giants meet the disciplined underdog. Arsenal and Liverpool’s football pride takes a subtle, quiet blow, not in goals conceded but in respect earned and reputation challenged.

When have you witnessed shattered esteem, a quiet bruising that changes how strength is measured?
